Low AND COLE.
BOSS Piatt's Revised Plans for the Orsani-

boss Piatt's Revised Plans for the OrEani-
zation Of the Legislature.
It is said that Boss Plat has agreed upon
his legislative slate. The general opinion of
Republican statesmen is that Senator Low
will be chosen President pro tempore of the
Senate and Fremont Cole, Of Schuyler,
Speaker of the Assembly.
Senator Fassett has no chance of being
elected President of the Senate. Several
Platt Senators have informed the boss that
they would not support Fassett, and he will
probably withdraw from the contest. This
action IN his part would insure the election
of Senate Low
The three Republican Assemblymen from
New York City-Morgan of the Seventh Dis
trict. Hamilton, of the Eleventh, and Crosby,
of the Twenty first District-are said to be
pledged to vote for Fremont Cole for
Speaker. Then it is said that the four Kings
County Republican members and the repre-
sentatives from Suffolk and Richmond coun-
ties are also in favor of him. This would
give him nine votes below the Westchester
line.
Gen. James w. Hustled is still boastful and
insists that he will be reelected Speaker.
The following is believed to be the Plat
slate President pro tempore of the Senate,
Henry II. Low Clerk of the Senate, John S.
Kenyon Speaker of the Assembly. Fremont

THE MINERS, CLAIM.

The striking Lehigh miners have appealed
10 the editors Of the leading Philadelphia
journals to help them secure Justice.
The companies have advanced the price of
coal $1.25 per ton since last summer The
miners ask only for about So cents of this
advance, TO be added TO their scant earnings.
And the combination that starves American
labor" with one hand and robs the American
people with the other will not grant this
beggarly increase in wages.
Arbitration may help the present situation.
But the real remedy for such wrongs is to
smash the monopolies and repeal the robbers
tariff on coal.

THE LARCENY OF A WIFE.

Farmer GREENMYEB, Of Milford, Pa, ap-
Piled to Court the other day for the arrest of
q neighbor on the charge of grand larceny.
He averred that the aforesaid neighbor had
stolen" his wife. The Court refused the
warrant.
The disconsolate GREENMYER is perhaps
inclined TO think that he should AVE APP
piled for q warrant for petit larceny. But he
is wrong. His great mistake was in regard
ing and probably treating his wife as q mere
piece Of property.
Mrs. G~REEsMYER, Of course, did very
wrong in clipping. She should have taken
some milder method Of %rebuking the old
fashioned notion that q wife is an item of
goods and ohattels.

P~ythag0ras Hall Assault.

PythaGoras Hall Assault.
James E. Quinn, Master Workman of Dis
trict Assembly 40, was arraigned in the
Tombs Police Cour this morning on o charge
of assault, preferred by Alfred Hovey Bal
lard, of the Tribune. Quinn demanded an
immediate examination.
Mr.. Ballard. who was placed on the stand
as the first witness, said that while he and
two other reporters were in Pythagoras Hall
last Wednesday evening getting news of q
meeting Of working girls, he was ordered out
of the place by Quinn, As he started down
stairs Quinn caught hold of him and at
tempted to throw him downstairs. He only
saved himself from a bad fall by clinging to
the stair railing.
Upon oross-examination Mr.. Ballard said
that he. did not know that Quinn was in au-
thority in the hall.
Judge Kilbreth adjourned the examination
until Dec. IL at 10. 80 A. NJ. After q wrangle
by counsel as to what evidence should be adj
mitted, he said that the questions to be de-

A RIOTOUS ANARCHIST.
While Intoxicated lie Uses n Lighted Lamp
In Lieu Of n Bomb.

III tLtu VI " no"D
Frederick Lamann, 45 years old, of 228
West Eighteenth street, who claimed to be
an Anarchist and a bitter foe TO the militia
and the police, was arraigned in the Jefferson
Market Police Court this morning. The
charge against him was hat while intoxicated
last night he created n disturbance and threw
a lighted lamp at n young man named Fred
erick Gebhardt. the brother of W. militia
men. residing at the same address.
The militia uniform worn by the two Geb-
hnrdts seems to have been an eyesore to
Lamann, who openly expressed himself with
what contempt he looked upon them. Dis
putes arose frequently between Lamann and
the Gebhardt brothers regarding the ex-
pressions used by the former.
AT 7 o'clock last night Lamann staggered
into the house, and while stumbling up tho
stairs cursed the Gebhardt brothers and
threatened all sorts of mischief.
On the first landing Lamann met Frederick
Gebhardt the youngest son in the family.
and, with n curse, sprang, at him. The boy
did not weaken, but held his ground, and
when Lainann came within arms length
dealt him a blow on the bridge of the nose,
knocking him down.
Lamann arose TO his feet, and, muttering to
himself, assembled the stairs, entered his
apartment, lit his lamp, and, grasping II in
his right hand. descended to the floor occu-
pied by the Gebhardts.
Nnen peDnhrut nchru lhHann coming
downstairs, he opened the door. No sooner
did he make an appearance than Lamann
threw the lighted lamp at him. He lodged
and fortunately escaped being struck. The
lamp struck the wall and broke in several
pieces.
Some Of the tenants seeing the oil of the
lamp burning feared the house was on fire
and summoned two policemen, who extin-
guished the flames and after u struggle ar
rested Lamann. Lamann said in his defence
this morning that he had been attacked first.
He was fined $40,

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., Dec. 1.-The YER
dict of the Coroner's jury in the case of
Leonard Grunewald, showing that the old
shoemaker had been murdered and his body
tossed off at the foot of the Burnet street
cliff OF the morning of Nov. IS, meets with
the approval of the people. Coroner Daley
officially acquainted Prosecutor Rice with
the verdict this morning and he will insti-
tute an investigation before bringing the case
before the Grand Jury next Tuesday.
Some of the leading detectives have ex-
pressed the opinion that Grunewald had
been murdered when his body was found,
but the decision then made by County Physi-
clan Rice that an inquest was unnecessary
STAYED off an investigation until many of the
clues which could have been investigated
then We're obliterated. The members of New
Brunswick Lodge of Odd Fellows are still at
secret work on the case and have sworn to
solve the mystery surrounding the death of
their associate.

She has left us. our own darling

Her heart was full OF goodness
